With feeling even. Janell is still in the hospital after going into labor two weeks early on Thursday night. Son delivered by cecerean(sp?) sometime that night due to breach positioning and all attempts to change that failed, first he stuck out his tounge and them he flipped everyone off, nope not movin'. Been in NICU ever since. He can't manage to keep his oxygen level up where they need to be outside of an oxygen tent. They aren't allowing him any kind of food because they are worried that starting his GI system before he's breathing correctly will take away so much energy that he'll stop breathing altogether. He's on IV with electrolytes. He's not gonna starve. She's a wreck. Her mom coming in only makes it worse.

I'm leaving late tomorrow to go down there and hold her hand. She apparently gets released from the hospital Monday. Son likely will not.

Miracles happen. Anyone wanting to help this miracle along a bit, all help is welcome. Whatever form that may come in. Love you all.

If anyone is doing a Yule that you wouldn't mind a guest attending please let me know. I may need it by Tues/Wed.

I understand the worry. It will be hard for Janell if she has to go home without the baby. For me, just the thought that I might have to do that had me in tears.

Is she planning on breastfeeding? If so, she can still preserve her body's willingness to produce milk by pumping. I hope the hospital has been aware of that, if she has chosen to do so.

No, the baby won't starve. It makes sense, knowing how a baby's gi system basically works. Getting it going when he's having trouble with other things would be counterproductive. Well, unless what was causing his problem was something in his GI system that needed to be expelled. That's what we went through.

I will gladly send what energy I can for baby and mom.

Though it's hard, today's medicine means that both baby and mother will likely survive, where they wouldn't even fifty years ago. My little one also needed some supplemental oxygen, though not as much at this sounds like. However, with the IV and adequate breathing, the baby will be able to survive long enough to heal himself.

I'll be lighting a candle for this overnight, and probably when our group celebrates Yule as well. Good health for a baby is always supported.
